Using 10% of Your Brain
May 24th, 2008 | No Comments
The 10% statistic is bogus. You, in fact, use almost all of your brain, almost all of the time. Depending on what you’re doing, your brain might not be working very hard, but it will be working. If I perform an fMRI on you while you lie there and do nothing, your entire brain will still light up*. If I put you through a sensory deprivation protocol for long enough, you will actually start to hallucinate, because your brain craves input and activity.
